continued for our sins and sent to hell. Jesus' work of a sinless life, dying in our place on the cross, and resurrection from the death overcame all of the results of sin entering into humanity since the very beginning of time with Adam and Eve. He overcame death, hell, the grave, sin, the devil, and the corruption of sin for us.
Salvation also saves us to having eternal life after we die. It saves us to come to know God in a loving relationship that lasts forever. It saves us to a life filled with grace that empowers us to believe these things about Jesus and in Him and gives us the strength to live a godly life instead of always giving into sin because our human nature is so severely weakened by sin that we were enslaved to sin. Salvation breaks the hold of sin on us and causes us to no longer serve sin in our lives, but to instead love righteousness and what is godly, desiring to live obediently to God out of love and faith in Him. Salvation saves us to be in communion with the Godhead-which is the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirt, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each person who believes the Gospel of what Jesus did and Who He is.
The Holy Spirit brings to each believer the grace to believe the Gospel message concerning Jesus, causes one to be born anew in a spiritual way that enlivens the spirit within us that was dead due to sin. The Holy Spirit sanctifies us by cleansing us from sin because Jesus shed His blood to allow us to be cleansed by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides us and He helps us overcome temptation to sin. His presence in believers means that God is always with us all the time, never leaving us nor forsaking us.
So, Noah, if you come to believe all of this then know that God has saved you! We do not save ourselves. It is the work of God from start to finish. It is by grace, not by works we do. It is a gift we accept without earning it in any way. We just receive it when we believe the Gospel message of Jesus.
So glad you are desiring to be saved. Please go to the link that Adam posted on his post. That should help you in finding the way of salvation in Jesus Christ.
As humans, we are all sinful, being disobedient towards God. Sin separates us from God who is totally holy and pure. If one desires to be reconciled to God, then their sins need to be removed somehow so that we can have fellowship with God, Who is our Maker and is sovereign over each of us and all things. Humans are unable to remove their own sins nor the sins of others because none of us are free from sin, thus being impure.
But, praise be to God, He has secured our salvation and the removal of our sins through sending the Son of God to us by taking upon Himself humanity while still remaining fully God. Thus the Son, Jesus, lived a perfect life without sinning ever. He came to bear the sins of the world on Himself and be put to death for all of our sins on the cross. In doing this, He brought forgiveness of sins because He paid the just penalty for all of the sins of the world (which was God's wrath upon Him unto death).
After dying, Jesus was put in a tomb and was dead for three days. Then, on the morning of the third day, He arose from the dead, just as He had said He would. His rising from the dead brought justification for all of us so that God the Father would see us as righteous and sinless as Jesus was in His earthly life. We receive His righteousness from Him. This is the only way anyone can be made right with God and have eternal life with Him. This is what salvation is all about, being saved from the just punishment for our own sins, being forgiven of these sins so that we will not longer be held accountable for any of them. Salvation through Jesus Christ saves us from the evil works of the devil and from the hold of death. We will live again after we die and the devil cannot claim us for deserving hell because we are completely forgiven and redeemed (bought back) from being judged
Noah. Confess the saviour from sin Jesus Christ then confess Romans 10:9+10 and believe it in your heart and read God's Word daily. I prefer Romans thru
Thessalonians and the gospels but your choice it's all God's Word.
